about
In a dark moonlit night, during a winter more north as the moon, within the deepest bowels of the northern forsests, fate wanted that a certain pursuer of dark alchemies, a necromancer of renown, a wizard of ill repute, knower of all that is grim, peddler of horrible curses and dark poems of the underworld, crossed paths with an indescribable creature. The dark mage asked the denizen of the undergrowth, "O ye of spiny hide and snouty visage, where dost thou hail from? What otherworldly secrets are kept in thine dark lair? How has thee been dealing with the divorce?" - to which the critter responded "I'm holding up, man, thanks for asking. I've been picking the guitar back up again and stuff, it's helping me quite a bit actually. Hey, tell you what, how about we swing by my place and I show you some stuff I've been working on? We can even try and fit in some of those lyrics of yours, if you're still doing those".
The lich lord then let out a bellowing laugh, like the roar of a thousand-year-old undead dragon, and said: "Hah! A most fortuitous rendez-vous indeed, my barbed compatriot, for I have with me a slough of dark verses, veritable elegies of the underworld, cursed symphonies of fell madness... truly, Dom Satanas himself could have not come up with such execrable sonatas! Let us go at once, to shower this land with dark, and cold, and grim, and dark!". The odious conjurer then whistled for his hounds of war, and off went the entourage to create the most blighted ballads this accursed world has ever seen. And thus was born ðøgeþístlr.
lyrics
ANCESTRAL WORM REINCARNATED
[somber, slightly (but not excessively) cheesy synth intro. not hands down ambient, but not too melodic either. maybe some field recording samples too? eventually the riff drops with full force out of fucking nowhere. lyrics as follows.]
NOMADIC HORDE
BONES AND SKIN
CARCASS AND FIRE
CRAWLING VERTEBRAE
FOREMOTHER VENERATION
NO PASSAGE OF TIME
SPIRITS INHABIT
UNIVERSAL MANIFESTATION
NO TOMB NO CRADLE
PERMAFROST SEDIMENTARY
THE SKIES ARE MERCILESS
THE RIVERS ARE MERCILESS
NO UNDERSTANDING
OF SELF-CANNIBALISING
DEER ANTLER HANDLED
HEMATOPHAGE LUST
[stop the yelling, just instrumental for a bit. no real solos or breakdowns, just let the riffs do their thing. eventually go back to yelling.]
IRRELIGIOUS
INFANTICIDE
IRRELIGIOUS
INFANTICIDE
[now we go into an ambient-ish interlude thing, with drums this time around, with the cheese turned up by quite a bit -- something like kalt ritt in leicht faltiger leere by bethlehem, i'm thinking. eventually some gollum squealing/whimpering, the more pathetic the better.]
FLOATING AROUND THE TREES AND ROCKS FOR COUNTLESS MOONS
INVISIBLE WORM, SOUL WITHOUT A BODY, SENTIENCE WITH NO PLACE
[riff comes back, preferrably at an inadequate moment. maybe it's a different riff this time around? we got a lil solo going on now. eventually back to yellin'.]
WOMAN'S NOSTRIL AND BELLYBUTTON
BEFORE THIS TOTEM, ANIMAL YEARNING
ANCESTRAL WORM REINCARNATED STILLBIRTH
ANCESTRAL WORM CURSED CIVILIZATION
WOMAN'S EARDRUM AND FINGERS OF THE FOOT
SPEAKING NO LANGUAGE THIS WORLD IS A PREDATOR
MY WORM'S BODY IS DIRT UNDERGROUND
ASK A QUESTION I WILL NOT ANSWER
[now it's gotta end somehow, someone figure it out ok. just don't make it fade out cause that shit's lame.]
